Jackson Amendment Warns Soviets And Nixon Administration That Exit Head Tax Must End
WASHINGTON (JTA) - Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) served notice this week on the Soviet govern¬ ment, the Nixon ad¬ ministration and all parties involved in negotiating new trade' relations between the ■ US and USSR that they will have Congress to deal with on the issue of the Soviet 'education head tax imposed on Jews seek ing'to emigrate -from the USSR.

N.Y.) at'the same time introduced a resolution that would suspend the expansion of trade with the Soviet Union until there pre assurances that measures restricting - emigration from that country will be withdrawn. Jackson indicated in reply to questions that the ad¬ ministration was not ac¬ tively opposing his amend¬ ment despite statements
from the Slate Department last week that it did not favor such measures. While there have been no affirmative* statements of support for his bill from theadministration,- "I understand the ad-, ministration is not opposing' this." Jackson said. He asserted that no one in the administration ; had* asked him to "hold off" on his amendment. The Jackson amendment provides that after Oct. 15.1972. no country shall be eligible to receive most - favored - nation

"To this day I just can't understand why these men (involved in foreign policy decisions) can r^p^atedly lie- to the public . V?7just what gives them the right?! I felt it was about tirrie-we stopped relying on the experts and let the American people see for themselves exactly what was going on.. . I felt that I had to make these documents public if only to make people aware"," Ellsberg declared.
Ellsberg left the Hillel Foundation at 1 (a.m. to a standing ovation. A remark. made by one student, Ms. Katie Disch, Hillel Program Board Co-Chairwontan, 1972- 73, typified the feelings of others.
